Go With The Flow

If I were to say that I'm easy going, and more than willing to go with the flow, I'd be a big fat liar with my pants on fire. I DO like change... but I must be in control of said change... where I careful weigh my options and what the possible out comes are. This is my "change process" even if I'm trying a new brand on something on my grocery list. Yes... I like my structure.

This weekend our roommate moved out. This means that I no longer have to have a filing cabinet beside the head of my bed, computer things shoved into EVERY closet space we have.. or a spare room so full of shelves and office furniture theres hardly enough room to breath.

Really it's great- our living room as a lot more room for Tali to play in, we have an office now, and a roomy spare room. We also re organized our room on account of all the furniture that has been re-assigned to new areas. Everything looks GREAT... but I am LOSING my mind- Nothing is the same. The only rooms that have been untouched are the bathrooms and Tali's room.

I thought that Talia, being that she likes structure too, would also respond poorly to all the change. I thought that she would be confused and want to stay close to Mommy and Daddy. I couldn't have been more wrong. This kid THRIVES on change. She's exploring everything she can, giggling and laughing when she finds something different and wants nothing to do with Mommy or Daddy until she has seen every inch of the newly rearranged sections.

Watching how easy going Talia is really inspires me to perhaps not be so rigid. To be a little more open to change and not worry about all the possible negative outcomes... And I thought that I was the one who was suppose to be teaching her...
